Chapter 96: Questioning
After changing the medicine, Du Juan and Ah Zi were sent to the carriage together, and a new day was spent on the road again.
It's just that this time, there is a little girl next to her, Ah Zi is finally less embattled, and the depression of entering Cao Ying alone, the two of them chatted with each other along the way, and time is no longer so difficult.
"Sister is a witch?"
When he saw the purple blood scab on the wound when he changed the dressing for Ah Zi before, this question had been lingering in Du Juan's mind for a long time, but at that time, the fear of being captive prevailed, and he didn't dare to speak, and now he saw that Ah Zi was not as fierce as others, so he asked.
Ah Zi nodded, smiling at her a little weakly.
The identity of a witch has brought her all bad luck from birth to now.
"Do you know sorcery? They say, "Is it true that you can do magic and control people's minds and deceive people's minds?" ”
The cuckoo asked innocently looking into Ah Zi's eyes, completely unaware of the inappropriateness of his question.
Ah Zi shook his head a little embarrassed, and thought of how he felt when he was controlled by the captain of the pirate ship on the Fir before, and added, "At least I don't know any witchcraft."
The cuckoo nodded thoughtfully, pursed his lips again, and stopped talking.
"What's wrong?" Ah Zi asked.
The cuckoo groaned for a while before leaning towards Ah Zi and asking mysteriously, "Can your blood cure all diseases?" ”
At this point, Ah Zi can be sure, but there are the master's teachings before his death, and she has a lot of worries at this time, so she has to smile and not answer. Rhetorical question: "What are you asking this for?" ”
When the cuckoo heard this, he lowered his eyes and said with a sad expression: "My father is seriously ill, and the doctors nearby can't diagnose the cause, so he can only paralyze on the bed for many years. My mother has always been alone and has to take care of our siblings, and she has to go out with the men to plant crops, get up early and be greedy for night. I just thought that if my sister could cure my father's illness and more people in the family helped my mother, she would be able to work less......"
The cuckoo's voice became quieter and quieter. At the end, he only muttered vaguely. His head was about to sink into his chest.
Ah Zi sighed, but sighed in her heart that her life was not good, but there were many people who had a more difficult life than herself. It's just that even if he is willing to help her now, both of them are trapped here. Take care of yourself. How can she help her father?
"Where is your home? How did it fall into Zuo Qiyang's hands? Ah Zi asked instead.
"My mother went to the field early in the morning. I was left at home to take care of my father and brother. As soon as I boiled the water and was ready to cook, the adult barged in and walked around my house twice. Without saying a word, drag me away.
I cried out in fright until the lord said, "Just borrow me to serve you for a few days, and send me back when you are healed." Moreover, he also said that he could cure my father's illness.
"I didn't believe it at first, but when I saw that my sister was a witch, I realized that what the adult said was to use your blood to treat my father's illness, right?"
Ah Zi smiled bitterly in his heart when he heard this, if this is the case, Zuo Qiyang's smooth favor is very skillful.
Seeing that Ah Zi didn't answer, Du Juan asked timidly: "Sister, will you save my father?" ”
Instead of following Zuo Qiyang and his gang and waiting to be squeezed dry, it is better to use his own blood to save poor people like Cuckoo's father. Thinking of this, Ah Zi naturally had no reason to refuse, so she smiled and nodded at the little girl.
As if he had got some kind of treasure, the cuckoo immediately smiled, and jumped towards Ah Zi.
The two talked and laughed all the way, accompanied each other, and the sadness of losing family and friends became much lighter for a while, and the day passed in a blink of an eye.
After two days of day and night, the group finally left the barren area at the foot of Longji Mountain and settled in an unknown inn at night.
The cuckoo brought dinner to Ah Zi from outside, although there were always one or two soldiers guarding the room in shifts, closing the door, the two of them still enjoyed their free time as if they were "covering their ears and stealing the bell".
After eating, cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the two were sitting at the kang table talking and laughing, there was a sound of talking outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Zuo Qiyang walked in slowly.
The laughter stopped abruptly, and the smiles on both of their faces froze there, looking over warily.
Seeing this, Zuo Qiyang sighed in his heart, but his face was not obvious, he still smiled and opened the cuckoo, and he sat down opposite Ah Zi unceremoniously.
"Looks like you're still very satisfied with the new partner I found for you?" Zuo Qiyang asked, raising his hand and brushing his cuffs.
Ah Ziduan sat on the side, looking down at the front, not planning to talk.
Zuo Qiyang's brows furrowed tightly, and he let out a long breath, as if he wanted to release all the anger in his chest, and was silent for a long time before he spoke again: "My patience is also limited. To put it bluntly, you're just a prisoner of war after all, and I've been holding it like this, just to let you see my sincerity. Since you don't appreciate it, I don't need to behave like this all the time, and come to see your face all day long.
"In the future, your affairs will be handed over to the people below, as long as you are left alive to go to Xijing, I will no longer ask what they want to do with you in the middle.
"As for the cuckoo's girl, let Ruipeng deal with it early tomorrow morning......"
Hearing this, Ah Zi couldn't sit still anymore, looked at Zuo Qiyang suddenly, and asked anxiously, "What do you want to do with the cuckoo?" ”
Zuo Qiyang hooked the corners of his mouth almost invisibly, and became proud in his heart, but he still pretended to be serious: "She is just a girl I caught temporarily, since she is useless, naturally she can't keep it." But she already knows who you are, and I'm going to make sure she doesn't spread the news. As for how to keep her mouth shut...... Only the dead are the most reliable, right? ”
Hearing this, Ah Zi only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he took a few deep breaths before suppressing the desperate urge to fight with the man opposite, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't hurt her, I will listen to you whatever you want me to do." ”
Although he achieved his goal as he wished, Zuo Qiyang sighed a little helplessly, and pondered for a long time before he spoke again: "Why do you always look righteous and awe-inspiring in front of me, not afraid of life and death?" I said I wouldn't hurt you, and I never hurt you. ”
Ah Zi smiled bitterly twice: "You haven't hurt me, but what about Ah Brown, Bao'er, and Ah Zhong?" What about the guards guarding Dragonclaw City and the guards in the palace? Isn't their life at the end of your hand? ”
"When two armies confront each other, it is inevitable that there will be casualties, and sometimes sacrificing the lives of a few people can be exchanged for the peace of a country and the lives of many more people, so why not? Do you think that there are fewer people who died at Tang Yin's brown hands than me? Zuo Qiyang said, "As for Tang Yinbrown, Tang Yinzhong and Zhu Haobao, I didn't kill them, if nothing else, they should have crossed the Longji Mountain Range all the way north." (To be continued.) )
